"If you're passing due to white privilege, then you're white in a societal way,"... "Now, does that build a different set of issues inside somebody who knows they're not white, but they know that they're passing as white? Yeah, sure. Who the fuck am I to sit here and act like I can speak for black people? I can't even speak for white people. I can't speak for nobody. And I felt weird about that. So I took my racial makeup and just stuck it in the back corner for a long time." -Slug (Sean Michael Daley)
